Abstract excerpt

Expression of the amylase multigene family of Drosophila ananassae was investigated in third-instar larvae and adults. A developmental differentiation was found between the Amy1-2 and Amy3-4 gene clusters, the former being preferentially expressed in larvae, the latter in adults. During adult lif...
